Yet you opened a topic 🤪

i open topics on anything I want to talk about

kalufelix:
A stranger that meets you at a public space like a water facility or a shared commercial transit owes you no greeting..

same way I don't owe her fetching water.

But if she had greeted, she would have gotten the water.

Yes, you probably don't owe anyone anything but you will always need someone so it's probably always polite to be polite

kalufelix:
You are the one that can't use your moral compass..why do you think a stranger owes you a greeting because she met you at a public tap or because you think she is a small girl..lol..what if it were an older person that met you there and thinks how can i greet this boy washing cloth...if you so much yearn for greeting be the first to drop it..simple

again, you're displaying your lack of moral compass.

In Africa and Nigeria, we owe each other respect.

The younger ones owe the elderly ones respect.

If you're working and another person passes, they simply owe you a "weldone" same as when you're working and they are passing they will do the same thing.

We are humans over here who respect and value each other not cold blooded animals in Europe who cares not about each other not to even acknowledge each other.

We value ties in Africa. This is our culture. But I guess a person like you don't even know what it means to have a culture.

In Africa when I see your father, I don't call him James or Peter or whatever his name is. Not because I'm afraid of him but because I respect that he is an older person.

It's called good morals.

It's the way we expect to treat each other just as Europeans expect to treat each other a certain way.

Now do you see any European saying "why don't you treat us the African way?"

Of course not.

It's only morally depraved Africans like you who expect people to behave like Europeans in Africa.

kalufelix:
So the america and europe line is all you could grab from the post...if you love greeting so much be the one to usher it simple.. stop waiting for strangers to massage your ego with yeye greeting..

nothing is sensible from a man that have no moral compass except for what he sees in Europe and America.

For all I care, if they start eating sh*t over there tomorrow, you'll justify it as much as you can

kalufelix:
If she summoned boldness afterwards to ask would you have helped or punished her for not greeting initially..greeting is more than ethics and courtesy it should be warm sincere and come from within..what if she is just waking up from a bad dream and coming straight to fetch water... When you meet your flat neigbour in the elevator in europe a simple smile or hi is good but its not a must...when i was a kid there is this friend to my dad when he discovered i wasnt the lip service greet greet type he took it upon himself to always be the first to say 'how are you to me wherever we met..lol..greeting no dey put money for account if i see you i don see you be that if you ask for my help i will... also let me give you one last shocker ..most of the regular greeters you adore are cheats, dishonest and betrayals...imagine if God was a man if you fail to greet no oxygen and food for you...a certain part of the country will throw themselves on the floor in the name of greeting only to gossip pesn once he is 50m away.

when has America and Europe become the standard by which we must measure our morals by?

So because white people do it, it automatically becomes the right thing to do?

Make una carry this nönsense reasoning from my thread

You seem bitter. He probably had something that you didn't despite your "good looks"

Proudman, you are not ashamed of your life, recycling in one point, but killing urself about beautiful lady moving forward in phase of her life.

....... because you are a Messiah, that's why every girl you ask out must date you .


SOUNDING GRAGRA,.....LADY THAT DOESN'T DATE HIM, SEEING HER MARRYING GUY NOT UP HIM,.....YOUR LIFE BETTER, YOU ARE STILL WANDERING IN THE WILDERNESS OF SINGLENESS.


I will advise you to stop leaving in dream and wake up to reality.

whatever you say

Baronthecelebri:
Nigeria with their stupid mentality,is it by force to greet. Go to America everybody mind their business. Nonsense post

of course everything American is the correct thing

Remman:
You should be very ashamed of yourself to refer to a human being (man specifically) as "anything". Secondly, don't judge a book by its cover, they could make a good couple and end up having what they don't have right now in excess. I've seen really broke couples living happily and rich couples living unhappy (in pretence).

It's not a matter of "what" she married but "who" she married. In the terms of "what" no situation is permanent. Most of those ladies married love and peace, while the majority marry money, however peer pressure (manopause, aging, family, friends, etc.) could force a woman into marriage that she didn't plan to enter but that's not always the case though as many people now get married with their eyes open. Timaya's early girlfriend left him because he was broke, but today he's rich. Assuming you saw him then, you would have spit on a girl that would marry him, but today he's a dream for many women.

So, don't judge a book by its cover.

lolz.

I'm not judging a book by the cover.

All I'm saying is, as a single guy who has seen a lot of rejection, it's funny the "classy" ones settle for those who probably aren't what they probably imagined themselves settling down with.

I've seen girls who will slap a guy for not measuring to her standards settling down with guys way below the guy.

It's just funny. Honestly. Especially when they cross that 27-28 years.

Rexymania:
Come and share this info to one olosho bastard that just came to our compound.

You no dey greet me, you go dey send your daughter to come borrow gas from my wife....gas wey be say na me use my money fill

She even told her children not to greet me...I only told my wife they don't greet me

Now if she comes for gas, my wife will say she doesn't have....omo three times now, my wife told them the same thing. Few day ago they started greeting, I pretended like I didn't hear.

Make we continue... silence dey sweet me die 😋

I dey like this kain matter eh because We no need do anything. Na to siddon dey wait.

Fowl go do yanga until breeze blow and her nyash go open.

Greetings everyone on Nairaland.

son of the sorye

Now, I don't make choices for anyone and if they made the choices themselves, then I'm okay with that.

But that still doesn't change the fact that when I look at the lives of most girls, I feel let down.

Sometimes, you expect a heavy Climax, a reaching for something and getting it. But after seeing how most girls later end up, honestly, it's disappointing.

There was this girl I know very much in fellowship. Probably the holiest of them all.

You probably won't be able to toast this girl and she'll give in to you.

Talk more of getting her into your bed.

Of course, it's the usual, I'm saving myself for my husband stuffs.

Now that I see her wedding pictures and the husband, first thing I thought about was, "was this all she has being yangering about for?"

I've see girls so pretty who you probably will never be able to bed because they keep saying that you are not at their level getting married to people who are not even half your measures.

Marriage humbles a lot of women.

Regardless of how pretty, when it comes to settling down, most women have very little options.

So, little that they'll marry anything.

I've seen it too many times to even bother any girl doing yanga.

Uchenna10:
Nigerians takes greeting so serious.

we are Nigerians.

Jennyclay:
If she can’t greet you, why don’t you greet her

Common “good morning to her” won’t kill you either

You didn’t greet her but you’re quick to paint her has a mannerless person for not greeting you

Shior!!
Nonsense men everywhere!!

because I was there before her.

If I walk into a room, be it a barbershop or class I greet.

I don't expect the people already there to start greeting me.

It's simple manner.

Same way I would have greeted her if she was there and I am coming there.

Let me teach you a little simple manner, always greet people who have done or are doing what you went to do there.

Truly some of una no get home training

So, as early as 4:30am in the morning I decided to go and wash my clothes.

It's in the hostel and water was scarce because there was no light.

Hence the need for me to go early to the tap side to get water.

The tap was not running so I had to fetch water from the underground reservoir.

The reservoir is more like a well. You need a rope and bucket to fetch water from inside.

But most times there is no rope and if you come early, you can stretch your hands inside with your bucket and fetch the water like that.

At this time, the water was still at the level where you can stretch and fetch.

So, while I was there all alone washing in the dark, this girl came around 5am or so.

And she just walked pass with her bucket and Jerry can.

In my mind I was like "who be this one wey no get manners sha"

Anyways, I just bent down my head and continue washing my clothes.

She went to the tap and saw that it was not running.

Then she came back to the well to see if there was rope. There was none.

She flashed inside and saw the water and knew I was using the water.

But she couldn't even open her mouth to ask me question or ask me to help her to fetch.

And the reason was simple, she couldn't greet and I knew she she knew that there was no way she will pretend to start greeting all over again.

A lot of people especially girls make this simple yet big mistake.

They walk into a compound without greeting anyone inside the compound. Or to a shop without acknowledging the people inside.

If you do this, you make it hard for yourself to get help later on if the need arises.

Back to the topic, she stood there for a while, probably hoping I'll come help her. But I didn't.

My mind told me to help her but I couldn't bring myself to do it.

Anyways she left without getting the water because there was no way she could stretch herself to get it.

After she left, two guys came one after the other and greeted me warmly. I answered them and even told them about the water situation before they waste their time going to check the tap.

Another girl came around and greeted. She too couldn't reach the water. I had to stretch, fetch and put it on her head.

She came back again and I did the same thing for her.

Please greetings doesn't take anything from you. LEARN to GREET people especially WHEN YOU ARE THE ONE VISITING.

okoroemeka:
about that mental energy I have read a research topic on why chess players at a grand masters tournament in Russia are seemily losing weight and thousands of calories everyday while just doing no physical work,it was discovered that they burn 6000 calories daily which is 3 times more than what an a average person uses a day,it shows the game tasks the brain to the limits to consume such energy

and to what end?

OK, they've burned more energy but to what end?

I could light fire to a forest but it won't cook my rice better to the extent a small gas cooker would.

The point is not the extent of calories burnt but to what end?

In the end, all they'll ever be good or better act is just the game. No translation of that better or smarter brain into anything meaningful.

And so, are they really smarter or just hyped up?

ICTspecialist:
France wey win the previous world cup and got the the final last time before fifa rigged it for Argentina?
Why is France the most successful European team

some people will lick white sh*t just to look good.

Lots of them are on this thread trying to look "sophisticated" by insulting and downplaying their own race.

Look at them insulting their own race just to please the white man. And they do it with pride thinking they are some sort of "sophisticated" blacks because they wish they were white.

Moróns

Let's wait for investigation actually. Women love emotional games. If you listen to their mouth, you go kill wetin you no suppose kill

It's one thing for people to be racist. But how do you react when even blacks see themselves so worthless that they support those killing them?

I mean, read the above comments. Those were not written by racist whites but by Africans!!

Is this a case of low self-esteem? This thread is both depressing and disappointing to read.

Black American women of course

Ithream:
You gave few answers to your questions already and still….

Anyways, someone like you must have tried learning chess but your IQ is way too low to grab the concept. Now you have a problem with chess. Your IQ is probably in the lower percentile.

There are people who are smarter than you. Chess is one game that can draw that line. Even Magnus Carlsen has a one of the highest IQ.

high IQ doesn't matter if it translates to nothing.

Most chess players will only be known for playing the game. So what's the point of boasting for being smart?

Even more importantly, is that even smartness? I mean an educated man may boast of being smart but an illiterate politician will employ him as a worker. Who exactly is smart?

And no, I've never tried to learn the Game or most other games as well. All games boost brain work because you need to reason a certain way to beat the system.

But this only applies to the game or you feel if they won chess game they will be able to conquer any nation on earth?

I don't see the point. And after reading through the various posts, no one is even making a good enough point.

Chess is just another overrated board game I guess.

Jashub:
Playing 64 pieces with 64 squares is a game meant for super intelligent people . Not the commoners you'd find in Ludo or other ridiculous games like ayo and checkers

but our local drafts goes up to 20 pieces in 100 squares. so what exactly is your point?
